Actor Jung Jun-won's extreme nervousness displayed on variety shows has unexpectedly turned into an "attitude controversy."

On the program aired on the 1st, MBC's variety show "What Do You Do When You're Bored?" featured a special segment titled "Short Drama - Jjik-eo-yu." That day, Jung Jun-won appeared alongside actress Gong Hyo-jin, who is currently co-starring with him in MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Killer Married Woman."

From the beginning of the broadcast, Jung Jun-won seemed unfamiliar with variety shows and remained visibly tense throughout. Gong Hyo-jin asked, "Are you okay?" and fanned him, showing careful consideration for him.

Additionally, when Jung Jun-won was seen sitting on the edge of his chair, unable to settle down, Joo Woo-jae joked, "You'll fall off soon," while Yoo Jae-suk and other cast members tried to ease the atmosphere by engaging him in conversation.

However, his nervousness continued even during a segment where he showcased his acting skills. In the "Did I Grow Up Poor?" dialogue challenge, which required expressing one line with various emotions, Jung Jun-won struggled to speak. Yoo Jae-suk quickly took charge of the situation, and although another chance was given, Jung Jun-won ultimately failed to deliver the lines. Instead, Gong Hyo-jin demonstrated the scene herself to conclude the segment.

Following the broadcast, reactions to Jung Jun-won's behavior were mixed. Some netizens criticized him, saying, "He seemed insincere," "Variety shows are work too. How can he act if he behaves like this?" and "This is an attitude problem."

Earlier, Gong Hyo-jin appeared on her YouTube channel and revealed about Jung Jun-won: "When I ask him 'Have you eaten?' he just says 'Yes' and stops. I always tell him the same thing. He really doesn't talk." Known for his introverted personality, he displayed extreme nervousness during that day's broadcast, leading some viewers to perceive it as an insincere attitude, which sparked an untimely "attitude controversy."

At the time, Jung Jun-won explained, "I try to respond with more than one sentence when someone says something. Maybe they aren't curious about what I ate. But I've been trying to do that lately. I think and speak more." He added, "A fortune teller told me to watch my mouth." In response, Gong Hyo-jin said, "For a while, she didn't let him speak. I thought he must find it hard to answer when I ask him questions. There was a junior like that."
